🚨Crypto people, pay attention! AI is becoming a “new weapon” in scammers’ hands!
What did everyone worry about before?
Smart contract vulnerabilities, code being hacked, exchange security issues...
But now, a new enemy that’s really giving security teams headaches is quietly emerging👇
🤖 AI scams + identity forgery!
Solana Foundation’s newly appointed Chief Information Security Officer Michael Coates warns:
In the future, the biggest risk in the crypto industry may no longer be just technical vulnerabilities—but “people.”
What does that mean?
Put simply:
Before, scammers might have needed to crack your wallet or attack your contracts.
Now, they may be able to “trick you in person.”😨
For example:
📞 A familiar-sounding voice calls you
🎥 A video that looks like a real person contacts you
💬 An account that chats exactly like you
You think it’s a friend, your boss, or the project team—but behind the scenes, it could be an AI-generated fake identity.
Scammers are upgrading, and their targets are shifting—from code to human nature.
Many past headline-grabbing crypto attacks weren’t actually caused by problems with the blockchain itself, but by vulnerabilities in the Web2 layer.
For example:
❌ Social media accounts get hacked
❌ Staff are tricked into granting authorization
❌ Internal communications are forged
Ultimately leading to losses of on-chain assets.
No matter how strong the blockchain’s protective wall is, if someone at the door is tricked into opening it, hackers can get in just the same.🏴☠️
Michael Coates also reminds everyone:
In the future, be especially wary of “AI-forged calls from people you know.”
Because in the AI era, scammers can even copy the voices of your friends, colleagues, and business partners—making the scam increasingly believable.
Meanwhile, the Solana Foundation also says it has already developed response plans for future quantum-computing risks.
But the more important point is:
Security can’t rely only on users learning to become “half experts” on their own.
A truly mature industry should protect users by default, instead of requiring everyone to understand technology, security, and how to avoid scams.
🔐 The crypto world is entering a new stage:
Before, it was about whose code was stronger.
So remember this:
⚠️ The most dangerous time for on-chain assets isn’t necessarily when your wallet gets attacked—it’s when you believe a “fake real person.”
Stay vigilant, and protect your identity and assets!🚀
